There are 16 Spokane Wineries that are worth your time checking out if you are at all interested in wine. You heard right, there some great wineries in Spokane. I have to admit it, when I think of Spokane I don't associate wine or wineries with my town. But, that's all changing.
Washington State Wineries are producing some great wines and the wineries in Spokane are right in the middle of it. In the past 20 years or so the quantity and the quality of the wines produced in and around Spokane has improved tremendously.

In addition to the wineries around Spokane there are also about 160 wineries within a 50 mile radius of the tri cities area. Most of the grapes used by the wineries here in Spokane come from the Columbia valley region.
There is also a winery that is starting to produce an Italian Barbera in Green Bluff to the north of Spokane. They plan to have their tasting room open by November of 2009.
Most of the tasting rooms are open on the week ends and offer free wine tasting and also have a selection of wine gifts.
